Article: The Best Version Of ... Nick Drake's Bryter Layter

Great review! 😊 I put on my SACD of Nick Drake's A Treasury while reading this review. I think Island did a great job on this SACD, it sounds very warm and realistic, however it's the only Nick Drake recording I've ever heard so I have no idea how it compares to his other albums.

The credits list the 5.1 mix by John Wood with Clive Gregson, no mention of who performed the 2.0 mix.

5 of the songs from Bryter Layter are on this compilation: Introduction, Hazey Jane I, Hazey Jane II, Poor Boy, Northern Sky

4 of the songs are from Five Leaves Left: River Man, Cello Song, Fruit Tree, Way To Blue

4 of the songs are from Pink Moon: Pink Moon, Place To Be, Road, From The Morning

2 of the songs are from Made to Love Magic: Magic, Black Eyed Dog 

Made to Love Magic was a 2004 compilation album of out-takes and remixed tracks.

"Magic" was originally recorded for the Five Leaves Left sessions but did not appear on the final album.
